Fill your cart with pencils, notebooks, binders, and calculators and then scoot out to some area open houses to shop for your new home.

Our Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston local realtors are still listing and showing beautiful houses, condos, and townhomes in the Triangle region—perhaps one of them is for you.

Make sure to do a bit of research before you go to ensure you have all of the property details as well as information about recent sales in the neighborhood and area. You may even want to prepare some questions to ask the listing agent while you’re there.

National S’mores Day (yum!) is Thursday, and one of our Triangle towns is taking its celebration of the sweet treat to another level. Not only will the town host a food truck rally and outdoor movie night this Friday, but it will also change its name from Morrisville to S’Morrisville.

Though it will only “stick” for one day, the name change is official and certainly the cookie’s crumble to town officials. Morrisville (soon-to-be S’Morrisville) Mayor Mark Stohlman said, “We’re building community spirit one sweet tooth at a time. Changing the name of the town for one day is fun; I encourage everyone to refer to the town as S’Morrisville this Friday!”

The town’s campfire-inspired evening event is free to the public and will include cookout themed food trucks, a showing of the Scooby Doo Camp Scare movie, fire safety information from the local fire department, and s’mores for all, of course.

Residents and visitors of all ages are welcomed to attend with hungry tummies and low-slung chairs and blankets in tow.

More About Morrisville

Named the best place to live in the state and the fifth-best in the nation by Niche, Morrisville is an emerging town on the border of the Research Triangle Park tech and life sciences hub.

Known to be among the safest places to live in the country with an atmosphere that families in all stages of life will appreciate, Morrisville has a lot to offer and its growing population proves it.

Residents tout the town’s quality of life and developing business scene among the many reasons they choose to call it home. Morrisville’s convenience to downtown Durham and Raleigh proper is also an important asset, especially to commuter professionals.

In a news release issued by the town this spring upon receipt of a National Diversity Award presented by the National League of Cities for its annual East Meets West Festival, the town’s Mayor Pro Tem Steve Rao, said “Morrisville is one of the fastest growing and most diverse towns in North Carolina. The population has grown by more than 200% in the last 12 years, and is on pace to continue to grow at a similar pace for the foreseeable future.”

If you are interested in learning more about Morrisville and the new communities and neighborhoods that make up its attractive housing market, our Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston Cary real estate team will gladly help you out.

“This award is a nod to every single one of our agents, staff members, and company leaders on a job well done,” said Don Walston, Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston founder and chairman. “We’ve been able to establish a nurturing work environment that serves to empower our team to grow their abilities and do better for themselves and their clients. We truly strive to Help People Win, starting with our own.”

Best Places to Work in the Triangle

The Triangle Business Journal named 50 Triangle-based companies ranging in size from “small” to “giant” on its list this year. Companies were chosen based on an employee-survey process conducted by Quantum Workplace. The top-ranking company in each size category will be announced at a luncheon awards event in September.

Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston has held this regional Best Places to Work distinction for numerous years as a result of its longstanding commitment to serving others well at all costs.

“We know that an investment in our real estate team is an investment in the communities and clients we serve. It’s something we’ve always done and will always do,” added Walston.

You may not have written it on your “must-have” list between an open kitchen and designated laundry room, but chances are that safety is among your top priorities for your next house and the community you will call home.

Fortunately for you, buyers, the Triangle is known to have some of the safest towns and cities in the country with Cary leading the charge.

The Triangle town has recently earned not one, but two separate nods from SafeWise and The National Council for Home Safety and Security touting its safe streets and engaging environment.

Safest Cities to Raise a Child

SafeWise ranked Cary as the tenth best city on its 2017 list of The 30 Safest Cities to Raise a Child sharing that, “While parents always strive to closely supervise their kids, it helps to have a community that’s willing to focus on family-friendly initiatives that make the difference.”

The home security provider then went on to offer further insight into its research on the growing Cary suburb, reporting:

Located near the Research Triangle Park, Cary’s award-winning sports and recreation department has a robust approach to youth sports. Dotted with creeks and tree-lined streets, this community outside of Raleigh is one of the most highly educated in America, as 68% of residents have a college degree.

Safest Cities in the Nation

Cary also snagged a prime position on the National Council for Home Safety and Security’s list of the safest cities in the nation coming in 40th out of the top 100 municipalities reviewed based on FBI and local crime reports.

Like SafeWise, the National Council for Home Safety and Security highlighted many of the Raleigh suburb’s recreational amenities and activities to demonstrate the numerous opportunities residents have to enjoy healthy and active lifestyles:

Cary is located between Chapel Hill and Raleigh North Carolina with a population of 160,291. This “Bicycle Friendly Community” is located along the U.S. Bicycle Route 1 along with offering mountain biking in Lake Crabtree County Park. There are also many historic places to visit such as the Page-Walker Hotel, which contains the Cary Heritage Museum to Yates Mill. The area’s many lakes such as Lake Johnson and Crabtree provide trails and water sports for entertainment during the hot summer months.

Safe Triangle Towns

Cary isn’t the only town in the Triangle region to earn acclaim as a safe place to live.

Over the past year, towns all throughout Wake and surrounding Triangle area counties have added safe-city recognitions including:

Apex

3rd safest Raleigh suburb, Niche, 2017 Safest Suburbs in Raleigh

Cary

The growing Triangle town recently earned a top five spot on WalletHub’s list of the Best Places for First-Time Home Buyers ranking fourth out of the 300 cities and towns the personal finance website reviewed.

Compared against 23 key indicators, WalletHub assessed each to determine market attractiveness, affordability, and quality of life. Cary scored well, especially for affordability and real estate market rank, which evaluated market health, share of homes sold annually, building-permit activity, home price appreciation and more. Not surprisingly given its past recognitions as one of the safest places to live in the nation, Cary also snagged fifth place among the cities with the lowest property-crime rate.

“Cary has made its mark on the map as an ideal place to live in the Triangle for first-time buyers, seasoned homeowners and those seeking the perfect place to enjoy retirement,” said Beckie Hanley, branch manager of the Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston Cary Office. “With a downtown revitalization plan underway and focused growth to bring in new businesses and support citizens’ requests for recreational offerings, the town is poised to be the area’s most popular suburb.”

The Town of Cary wasn’t the only Triangle location on the national list; Raleigh and Durham also made an appearance ranking 23rd and 66th, respectively. However, when reviewed by size, Raleigh took home first place on the large city list, and Durham snagged 22nd position on the mid-sized city compilation.

Consider Living in Cary

A convenient Triangle area suburb, Cary is making a name for itself among home buyers in all walks of life.

The thriving town is a short commute away from the larger Triangle cities of Raleigh and Durham and the region’s popular Research Triangle Park business center.

Numerous well-known companies call Cary home including SAS Institute, Verizon and Deutsche Bank. Local businesses and restaurants are also abundant with more and more opening in the community monthly.

Recreational offerings at area parks and cultural events and live performances hosted at the renowned Koka Booth Amphitheatre are highly anticipated and well attended throughout the year.

Popular Cary Neighborhoods

Want to live in a new home development? Seeking country club living? On the hunt for a home in an established, family-friendly neighborhood? Cary has what you want.

Home buyers will find the homes they seek in neighborhoods that suit their families in the lauded town.

“Cary has wonderful communities, new developments, and well-established neighborhoods, with homes in an array of styles, sizes, and prices,” added Hanley. “Buyers can count on our expert Cary real estate agents to help them narrow down their house hunt to find the right neighborhood and the best home for their wants and needs.”

A new home community located in West Cary, Amberly has scenic, wooded lots with home starting at 2,680 square feet with four or more bedrooms. Home buyers will appreciate the well-designed homes with large, open kitchens and unique outdoor living spaces including covered patios and screened porches.

Additionally, Amberly residents will enjoy a state-of-the-art Clubhouse with fitness center, a Junior Olympic pool and children’s play pool, a gymnasium with basketball court, outdoor kids’ playground and hiking trails that wander throughout the community.

The family-friendly Cary Park community offers beautiful traditional homes, townhomes, and condominiums in a convenient West Cary location. Built around a 28-acre lake, the community feature miles of paved walking and biking trails and sidewalks that connect the neighborhoods within.

Cary’s Carpenter Village is a desirable community that combines beautiful front-porch, Southern-style homes poised along tree-lined streets. The established community also offers the amenities families seek including walking trails, tennis courts, and a pool.

The community recently welcomed Franklin Park at Carpenter Village, a mixed-used development with retails shops, townhomes, and condominiums. Touting “urban living in a village setting,” the new community offers walkability that appeals to today’s home buyers.

Located in East Cary, Lochmere is a well-known and highly sought-after neighborhood. With homes built in the late 80s and early 90s, the established community is a draw for families in all stages of life.

With three lakes, walking and biking trails, two community pools, tennis facilities, sand volleyball courts and more, Lochmere homeowners can be as active as they like.

Boasting half-acre homesites with mature trees and beautifully appointed homes, MacGregor Downs is a picturesque Cary country club community.

Located near the town’s center on an award-winning golf course, MacGregor Downs is known to be a place of exceptional living and convenience with condominiums starting in the $200s and extraordinary homes typically priced from the $500Ks to more than $1M.

Preston

Another of Cary’s most prestigious golf communities, Preston draws buyers from all over the Triangle and even the state. A well-established neighborhood with homes of all styles, sizes, and design—ranging from $250K to more than $2.5M—homeowners enjoy easy access to the Research Triangle Park, good schools, a community playground, private lake, and scenic golf course views.

Homeowners who join the Prestonwood Country Club can enjoy three 18-hole golf courses, nine tennis courts, three pools and a Georgian-style clubhouse with restaurant.
